Image Manager API Concepts

This section provides a road map of all the conceptual objects you deal with when interacting with this API, and provides pointers to where you can learn more.

Automatic Transformations: Image Manager automatically transformation a website’s images by creating derivative images of various sizes and formats, and dynamically selecting the appropriate image when requested by an end user. Policies can be created to modify how a website’s images are transformed (see Policies).

On-Demand Transformations: Image Manager also supports on-demand transformations, using query string parameters that allow web developers to: specify which of the derivative images should be selected; force a particular output format to be selected or specify a different policy. For detailed information on query string parameters and examples, see the Uses section.

Policies: Policies are used to create variations (size and formats) to deliver the best image for the application. For detailed information on Image Manager policies and examples, see the Uses section.
